The end is near, it is very close to an end. Thanks to my wonderful reviewers:
SimpleNClean92: I decided to do a trilogy because I couldn't think of anything else at the moment
Hurky: I liked Hollow Bastion, just because it was new and very original, if only some of my stories were that way
Lionheart21: I'll pick up those tips for my next stories
And thanx to the other readers!
Now, here is the final chapter in this story read the final notes to get a summary for In His Father's Shadow.
"Wait a minute…what do you mean I'm the king?" Sora asked.
"King Mickey told us of a prophecy that said, 'Who so ever collects all of the pieces for the Twilight Amulet shall be the next king.' And you have the Twilight Amulet, so that makes you king." Donald said, still driving.
"What about King Mickey?"
"He will be relieved that a new king has been found, he's wanted to travel to each world and make sure that everything is okay."
Sora shook his head, "We'll talk about it later, and let's focus on saving Kairi and Namine now." And Sora moved up to the front of the ship to get a better view. He could see it, the world known as the end of the worlds, where all of the worlds are in one location. "Well, here we are." Donald said. As they landed they drew their keyblades and walked down the seemingly endless path. Suddenly, darkness came out of nowhere and sucked them in. They were falling down, faster and faster they fell, only being able to see darkness. They started slowing down and landed on their feet on a type of mosaic of Donald, Goofy, and Sora. "Where are we?" Goofy asked.
"Awakening." Both Sukai and Sora answered.
"So, you remember what this place is, well at least you'll die in a familiar place." They turned to see Axel, smiling with his flame wheels in his hands, smiling. "Now meet your fate!" his weapons blazed with fire. Everyone took out their weapons and ran after him with Sukai and Kihaku in front and Sora and Riku in the back. Axel just smiled and as Sukai and Kihaku got close, he summoned up a fire ring that encircled them. Everybody stopped and all they could do was wait. Axel smiled. Sukai and Kihaku kept running after him. Axel pushed them both down with little effort with his fire wheels. Sukai and Kihaku got up and looked at each other, they raised their keyblades and said, "By the power of light, we fuse!" There was a bright white light and Axel shielded his eyes. Once the light was gone, it showed someone new, his hair was in the form of Sukai's but instead of blonde, it was red, one eye was blue while the other was green. He had a grin that was the same as Sora's, he had on a white shirt, and green pants, and black shoes. Axel looked at the newly formed person in awe, but went back to his old self, "Well, at least I can take you down with one shot." Axel then ran after him with both of his wheels in flames. The figure blocked his attack and countered with a swing of his keyblade to Axel. Axel blocked that and summoned pillars of flames to hit the figure. "Who are you? Because if you're a part of Sora, then you must be stupid."
"I am known as Suku, so you better watch what you say." And with that Suku ran after Axel at full speed, Axel set one of his wheels ablaze and threw it at Suku. Suku saw it coming and jumped up then felt something go into his back, Axel's other wheel. Axel smiled, "Not so powerful, even fused you're still weak." Suku fell to the floor face down and the flames disappeared to show everyone that they were dead. "No…" Sora said, he couldn't believe it. Axel turned to the others, "Sorry to keep you waiting…you're up next!"
"Look at the pretty lights…shiny ahyuck." Goofy said pointing to where Sukai and Kihaku were down on the ground. Everybody looked to see two thirds of a heart floating, one side blue, and the other green. Sora fell to the ground, feeling pain in his chest and saw that it was glowing red. The partial heart that was floating sped toward Sora's red light and sank into his chest. Sora fell to the ground face down and the others gathered around him. Axel started laughing, "So, now that you're most powerful friend is dead what are you going to do now?"
"I'm not dead Axel…" and Sora rose to show that the only thing that has changed was his clothes, his pants had blue flames, and his shirt had red spades on each side. "I have just been reawakened with my other sides. Now, let's finish this." With that, Sora pulled out both Oathkeeper and Oblivion and ran after Axel at full speed. Axel started panicking and started running the other way, but Riku was right behind him, wearing his heartless outfit, "I may not have the power of the heartless anymore but I still have dark powers." Riku took his keyblade and stabbed Axel right through the stomach and threw him into the dark and endless abyss.
"Everybody follow me!" Sora yelled as he stood on top of a stained glass step. Riku, Goofy, and Donald all followed his orders. They ran up the steps and the higher they went the harder it was for them to go so fast. Riku stopped, "I need to rest for a second," and as he was about to sit down, the step disappeared beneath him and he grabbed the edge of the next one and pulled himself up. "Okay, there's no way back." Sora continued walking while the others ran up the stairs and at the top, they saw a door. "I guess this is it," Donald said, "We better get ready before we…" Sora ignored him and opened the door. A bright light filled the room and transported them to a new place, a completely white room. "Uh…where are we now?" Goofy asked.
"Oblivion you stupid fool." They heard a voice say, "Of course, the only person who would know that is Sukai, and he's dead." They looked toward where the voice was coming from and saw Diz and Yomi. "My dear Yomi, could you please take care of these annoying specks of light, they're giving me a headache." With that, Diz disappeared.
"Well, now let us have some fun, but first." Yomi waved his hand and Sora heard three yells and turned to see Riku, Goofy, and Donald disappear into a dark vortex.
"Where did you send them?"
"Into a dark world that is impossible to escape unless you are in between dark and light, so they are trapped forever."
Sora glared at Yomi, "I didn't want to use this yet, but you've provoked me enough to do it." Sora summoned his Twilight Blade and faced Yomi smiling.
"So you have a new toy, no matter," Yomi took out the Souleater (the one that looks like a bat wing) "I'll still kill you."
Riku, Donald, and Goofy were falling through the vortex. "So, uh what are we going to do now?"
"I'm going to try something," Riku said taking out his Souleater (Keyblade). He pointed his keyblade into the dark void and tried stabbing the darkness. Riku punctured a hole in the darkness and a bright light started coming through.
"How did you do that?" Donald asked.
"I don't walk the path of light or dark. I walk the road of Twilight. Now come on, let's see where this goes." And Riku went into the light. He fell through and landed in the middle of a library. "What the hell?"
"So, you've found our hiding place." Riku turned to see Diz standing across the room. "But you will never get out ali…" he was knocked back to the wall by Goofy.
"Now, tell us where Kairi and Namine are." Goofy said, Riku and Donald stood there and were shocked.
"I will never tell a dirty dog where they are." Diz then spat on him and Goofy pushed him harder into the wall.
Riku then walked over to Diz and spoke, "Tell us where they are or you will be crushed against the wall till you die." After he said this, Goofy pushed harder. Diz's yellow eye filled with fear of death, and he answered their question. "Fine, they're in the cargo hold, and the baby is with them."
"Okay, Goofy, get off of him." Goofy backed away from the wall and stood behind Riku. Diz fell to the floor gasping for breath then, he rose again, "Fool, you think that I'll let you go to the cargo hold? You will never escape this roo…" Diz's eye was wide, Riku had stabbed him in the stomach and Diz doubled over as Riku took out his keyblade, "I thought you said you wouldn't kill me."
"I said Goofy wouldn't kill you. That was for whatever pain you put Namine through." Riku's eyes showed flames of hatred, "Now you will know what it is like to die." And Riku walked away.
Yomi and Sora stood facing each other, ready to attack at any moment, suddenly Yomi disappeared. Sora looked around for him but couldn't see him, suddenly Yomi came down and slashed his face, Sora yelled as he grabbed his face and felt the blood trickling down. Yomi laughed at how weak Sora looked, Sora became enraged and threw his keyblade at Yomi slashing his face and the keyblade came back. Yomi yelled as he was cut and faced Sora, they both ran at each other with their keyblades in hand and
Riku was running with Goofy and Donald behind him, looking for some kind of clue to where the cargo hold is. "Where are we?" Donald asked.
"Uh, aren't we in Awakening or somethin'?" Goofy asked.
"No, when I cut the darkness we were transported somewhere else. For all we knew it could have been Destiny Islands."
"Then how are we getting out of here?" Goofy asked.
"I can cut another hole and get us back to where we were." Riku said. They kept running and Riku suddenly stopped, then Donald stopped beside him and Goofy ran into Donald. While Donald yelled at Goofy with his usual rage, Riku went to the wall and put his ear against it, he heard crying. Riku backed away from the wall and used Firaga to blast the door down. Kairi and Namine screamed and Riku stepped inside. "Are you two okay?" He asked.
Kairi and Namine looked up to see Riku, "Yeah, but you could have used the door." Kairi said with Hakumei in her arms.
"You're getting to be just like Sora." Namine added. They got up from the floor and walked toward the opening, Kairi went through, but Namine stopped and kissed Riku passionately.
"Ahem," Kairi said, Namine and Riku looked over still in the kiss, "not in front of the baby." Riku and Namine separated and left the cargo bay. Donald was still yelling at Goofy, but stopped once he saw Kairi, and both he and Goofy kneed before her "Our Queen," They said in unison.
"What?" Kairi asked, having a confused look on her face.
"Don't ask," Riku said as he took out his keyblade and punctured a hole in the wall, "just follow me."
Sora and Yomi ran toward each other and slashed at each other but clashed their keyblades they jumped back and ran each other again. Yomi was swinging his keyblade while running and Sora jumped behind him, but Yomi blocked him and they started clanging their keyblades, blocking each other's attack. Suddenly a vortex opened and Riku, Kairi with Hakumei, Namine, Donald and Goofy fell through. Sora looked over and saw his child, sleeping, here in the middle of this intense battle. Sora turned back to Yomi, "You may have all the power of darkness, but no matter what happens there will always be a door to the light!" Sora's keyblade glowed brightly and became pure light, Yomi screamed in pain. As he was disappearing, he yelled "Remember the prophecy! I will be back!" Yomi continued screaming until all that was left was some black smoke. Sora stood there, panting and tired from the battle then, he fell to his knees. Kairi ran over to Sora and knelt beside him, "Sora, are you okay? What happened to your face?"
"It's just a little scratch. What's the baby's name?"
"Hakumei, now what's this mess about you being king?"
"This," and Sora showed her the Twilight Blade, "is the Twilight Blade, whosoever collects all of the pieces to make the keychain is king."
"What about Mickey?"
"Donald and Goofy said that he will be okay with it, he wanted to check the worlds."
"Well, at least we're now together again." At that time Hakumei started crying.
Sora smiled "After all that, he starts crying now."
Kairi stood up and started trying to see if he needed something, "I think he just woke up," Kairi finally said, "Shh…don't cry." At that time she started singing, (not my song)
Hold
me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later
on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at
all
Nothing's like before
After she finished, Hakumei was silent and Sora walked up to Kairi, "Come on lets tell King Mickey the good news." They started to walk over to Riku and Namine and saw Namine go up to Riku and whisper something in his ear. Riku jumped, "YOU'RE WHAT!" Sora and Kairi laughed as they joined their friends.
The End
